Walking in Spain

Spanish Mountain Walking

Spain in the most mountainous country in Europe, and the Spanish mountains hold many surprises for those willing to explore a little beyond the normal tourist destinations. Ancient castles, long forgotten settlements, canyons and more.

The mountains of the Costa Blanca offer an amazing landscape of pinnacled ridges, enormous rock faces and shady pine forests. Almond and olive groves enhance the valleys, whilst attractive mountain villages provide traditional hospitality, offering a real Spanish experience. Abdet is a typical village in the area and it is in the heart of the Costa Blanca mountains, at the head of the Guadalest Valley. Allowing you to explore the ancient villages, mountains, canyons and of course the wildlife. The village was first settled by the Moors over 1000 years ago, its narrow streets and houses with terracotta tiled roofs are a delight to explore.
